Does this study take into account ancestry? Menopause before age 45 is not unusual in Asian and third world countries.
Seems to me your damned if you do and damned if you don't. Take HRT and risk the chance of possibly getting cancer. I currently am 46 have the early signs of Menopause. I mean what exactly is one supposed to do about this? All you can do is eat healthy and excerise and hope for the best.
And being male is a risk factor.
